Scope of Services
Working entirely and objectively for your best interests, we will:
- Conduct a comprehensive employee benefits evaluation and provide guidance in making recommended changes to optimize the performance of your overall employee benefits program.
- Complete legislative and regulatory compliance reviews.
- Evaluate insurance reports that you are provided by your current insurer/administrator to assess their effectiveness (i.e., are the data “actionable” or useful?), which then provides us the ability to identify problem areas and help us to maximize efficiencies within your program.
- Aggressively negotiate your contractual terms with all health care management/wellness and insurance-related vendors in order to capture maximum values.
- Share with you our benefits design recommendations to capture underwriting efficiencies, improve benefits and minimize costs.
- Provide your organization, your employees, and their loved ones, with year-round, proactive account management and professional advocacy.
- Use our brokerage and consulting expertise to ensure that your organization is utilizing the best health care/health insurance products, services and vendors. As necessary, we will complete a market solicitation effort to determine the value of the current vendors versus other market options.
- Design and facilitate an effective communications process to ensure that employees have a sound understanding of your benefits structure, ways in which they can minimize their out-of-pocket costs, and knowledge of the advocacy we can provide them. Also, we will ensure that your employees realize steps they can take to be a positive contributor in assisting your efforts to maintain a high quality, affordable employee benefits program.
- Conduct short and long-term strategic planning.
- Evaluate the following health risk management/wellness initiatives to improve your organization's health risk profile:
- Health risk assessments, predictive modeling, chronic disease management, and health promotion programs/literature; and,
- Employee education, empowerment and engagement possibilities within the health risk management/wellness areas.
